    Don't forget Northstar's Oathmark line for JM and Osprey's big battle game Oathmark. They are also just as compatible with the Frostgrave and Stargrave sets. The Dwarven light infantry box becomes space dwarves fairly easily..

      I was going to mention the Oathmark range. The style of some of the sculpts is rather different and the Humans are distinctly lacklustre - they might have given them a more interesting name, to start with - but the points about the modularity and adaptability are just as valid.

    • @Valathiril

      Yeah it would be awesome if you reviewed the Oathmark minis also! Perhaps even Oathmark the game too as an entry way into rank and file! A lot of folks are into that especially with the Old World coming up. Great miniature agnostic game but also the miniatures themselves are pretty agnostic. Great channel btw! @@tabletopminions

      @maxxon99 Год назад +4

      It must be said that while these kits are great for building individual unique models for small skirmish games, they’re not so good for building large units.
      There’s rarely enough parts to give all the models unified equipment, so e.g. if you need a unit of 10 gnoll archers, you’ll be buying 40 gnolls total (two boxes).
      The fantasy boxes are also pretty short on shields, so if it’s important in your rules that everyone has a shield you need to find extras elsewhere.
      Really great for kitbashing, not so much for your typical 40k style squads (8 identical troopers, special and sarge).

    • @liberalhyena9760
      @liberalhyena9760 Год назад +2

      Fireforge is a completely different manufacturer with its own ranges, primarily historical, though they’re manufactured at the same factory used by North Star, Perry Miniatures and possibly others (Renedra). It’s certainly feasible to use their models and parts in combination with North Star’s, allowing even greater conversion possibilities.

    Excellent presentation. I just recently discovered Stargrave and Frostgrave. I absolutely LOVE THEM. Such cool models (plastic and metal) and I love how the universes are made to allow such openness and creativity from the hobbyists. I know you can customize whatever you want anyway, but it's so refreshing to see a game/universe that promotes that creativity. I love the Scavenger set. I kitbash the Scavengers with GW and Puppetswars bits to make my own sci fi crusaders.

    I love this! Thank you so much for posting this. Because I dislike GW business practice, I have been trying to minimize my GW purchases, but they are still the best place to go for models. Now I feel like a real alternative and I am THRILLED at the price point. Also, as a mom, I think this is an awesome option for those with kids who might like the hobby, but don't want to (understandably) pay the super high cost of GW kits for kids who simply aren't going to do a super job. Now, you could buy them one of these boxes, a can of primer, a handful of paints, and print off some One Page Rules, and be able to start them for around $50. That's awesome.

    The kits work super well with the oatmark miniatures. Especially for beginners. The Frostgrave bodies are fairly complex with a lot of details. Pick a box of 30 humans for around 30 € - you can enrich them with the fristgrave bits and have a lot of fun building.

  • @borna1231
    @borna1231 Год назад +17

    It has to be said that Northstar, the manufacturer of these kits, also makes miniatures for Oathmark, a rank-and-flank fantasy wargame, and the Xgrave kits are fully compatable with these. So when you combine all the Frostgrave boxes with the Oathmark range, the diversity of models is pretty astounding. Here´s the full list of the Oathmark kits:
    Dwarf Infantry
    Dwarf Heavy Infantry
    Dwarf Light Infantry
    Elf Infantry
    Elf Light Infantry
    Elf Cavalry
    Goblin Infantry
    Goblin Slaves
    Goblin Wolf Riders
    Orc Infantry
    Human Infantry
    Human Cavalry
    Skeleton Infantry
    Revenant Infantry (heavily armored skeletons)
    All the infantry boxes have 20 models, all the cavalry boxes have 15 models, all are priced around 30$. Plus, they have A TON of blister packs with unique models for characters, comanders, generals and such, which cost between 7$ and 10$. They packs usualy come with two figures. It´s absolutely crazy value for money.

    These are such great value! There's a ton of potential in each box. I use the Frostgrave soldiers in so many of my D&D games.

    I am a huge advocate for kitbashing in this hobby where it so common to paint miniatures in the _correct_ schemes, with the _correct_ paints, using the _correct_ techniques by simply changing a pistol or a sword on a miniature it can really help to give a unique sense of ownership and narrative immersion for any hobbyist, new and old, that might otherwise feel creatively stuck or burned out.

    Don't forget that Northstar does a single-sprue sale each year on their web store. A little more expensive than buying the boxed sets, but a great way to get lots of variety.
    At under $2 per model, plus bits and modular design, these represent way better value than $5-$50 for a mono-pose GW mini. Once you get outside the GW walled garden, this hobby becomes much more creative and affordable. 👍

    Yep - these and the Wargames Atlantic boxes are absolutely brilliant, I've been using them in so many different games, and the number of spare parts and interchangeability make them a real no-brainer!

    I love these sets, I have a bunch of the fantasy ones and it's insanely fun to mix and match parts between kits to make interesting characters 🙂
    Thanks for highlighting these kits!

    Great kits. My favorites are the Frostgrave witches. The Stargrave alien heads are fun too.

    They are all superb and a great way of creating unique forces for the table top and many of the parts mix and match and even more variation with the Oathmark kits. Love them all and the price point

      Also individual sprues can be bought off eBay if you do not want a full box

    I'm super addicted to buying north star kits. I have SO many sprues. I just picked up the Stargrave mercenaries 2 to make a Stargrave crew for my wife to play with me (since she wants all girls) and the kit is awesome. Gotta say though, the Frostgrave knights kit is the GOAT and one of my favorite miniature kits ever made.

    My son and I have crossed over to Star and Frost grave and haven't looked back. We are having a BLAST!

    I love these models so much. Some ebay sellers even parse them by the sprue for 8 bucks a piece. Since the sprue repeat, you aren't missing out on too much and can get a lot of variety for little investment.

    I love these videos, bc I knew about the lines of minis but didn't know anything else, not even the option of posing them. Thanks, uncle atom! 😁

    I just bought a single sprue of barbarians for DnD, can’t wait to paint em up!

    Ooh, scavengers! Had no idea they existed, nor the ghost archipelago sets. I'd looked previously at NorthStar but the models had always looked rather chunky on their website, so I'd got in my head they were more like the last plastic cadians. So thanks for showing a comparison, I'll be considering them afresh in the new year.

    Glad your back Adam!
    I've been looking at getting these for a while, great to hear they are high quality kits. For me it's hunting down kits or bits to do the beastiary I need for frostgrave. Ebay seems the best way to go for that.

    I have been buying 3-4 boxes at a time and make armies out of these. It has been an awesome way to kitbash cheap armies.

    Yeah, these boxes are amazing. Add in the oathmark boxes, and you get a fantastic amount of customizable minis.

    Stargrave minis are my favourite sci fi minis by far on the market for multi part hard plastic the only thing that's missing is a heavey armoured version with close combat weapons.
